'm sure plenty would agree, it just does add an extra tax effort to the donation process, I assume not just for the donor but for the group too.

Last year we made a donation to NPR and got our annual swag for it - lovely
mug and bag.  When I did our taxes though I had to enter a value for the
swag.  Actually NPR's receipt gave it to me.  This years donation won't
include us receiving swag, the stuff is nice, but I'd rather the whole tax
benefit.


Thanks that's good to know.  However, I wouldn't mind getting a
t-shirt every now and then thought. :)
